Christian Boltanski works on history and memory. In his La vie impossible de C.B. (2001) he documents his life, making viewers question the myth-making and erasure capabilities of memory. See it at Centre Pompidou #Art_and_History

A couple of years ago I found a really interesting intervention in the staircase of the Institute of Historical Research. Photos of women historians were added to the collection adorning the Institute's walls. I should really check if at least one remains. #Art_and_History

In ancient Rome, Janus was on roads and building entrances. The image has an elderly and a young one, representing what happened and what will come. Janus originated the name of January. Happy 2020! #art_and_history #art #History

1/3 Been to Bristol some weeks ago, and followed the trail of Colston's statue. Much more to this story than meets the eye. The statue stood at the centre of the city, near Colston Hall. #colston #art_and_history #art #History

2/3 A slave trader, he was also a benefactor for the city (setting up schools and almshouses and leaving all his wealth to charity). For years, Bristolians have debated what to do with the tributes to Colston across the city. #colston #art_and_history #art #History

3/3 Due to the inaction of decision-makers, the statue was removed by activists. It is now in a museum, as found, and visitors are invited to join the conversation as to what should happen next. #colston #art_and_history #art #History
